Divide
your students into 5 groups. Each group is given a zip-lock bag full of "Alpha-Bits"®
cereal. (Don't worry about which letters you put in, just fill the bag with random
letters!)
Give
each group a list of the weekly spelling words. Set a timer for 5 minutes and
away they go! The object is to see which group can spell the most words on the
spelling list in the allotted time using their cereal.
Another
version is to see which group can come up with the most words using each of the
letters in the bag. Note: This version is intended for coming up with any
word, not just a spelling list word.
The
students can then enjoy eating their words after the game!
